$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $(\lambda / 3)$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $4$ times that in the first case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ speed of light).

  • A
    $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{hc}{2 \lambda}$
  • C
    $\frac{hc}{3 \lambda}$
  • D
